Opel GTC Concept

[NoRemorse]

Well... parts of this car I heard may make it to the states in the Aura.

They have a 2.9l turbo diesel in it!

Just wondering if anyone had seen it.

Also info about a 2.8l gas v6 turbo.

Aura redline anybody?

PS) Don't read TOO much into this, I am not trying to spread rumers

Excerpt from the article at work:

"The concept features all-wheel-drive, a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 that generates 300 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. "

""This is the new generation of Opel, and Saturn, too," GM design chief Ed Welburn said.

"The architecture will form the basis for a range of cars that will include the Saturn Aura, Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, Saab 9-3 and Opel Vectra. "

That was what everyone was expecting the G6 GXP to be. That's why we're all so disappointed. Delays, delays. The HF V6 was originally intended to be in AWD applications, and the G6 was originally intended to have it at launch (HF V6, that is, not AWD).

They better do something high feature with the HF V6...like turbocharge the damn thing...or slap it up against an AWD system. They could make an AWD Aura and it would be thousands less than any AWD competitor. You don't see AWD on Honda's or Toyota's...they would blow them away.

Is that the Saturn concept or the GM concept (G6)?
